Meditate with Horses Ltd Recenzje 85

First silent retreat so not sure what to expect. The retreat was well planned and explained, great food, horses amazing presence, meditations structured but not intrusive, time for coastline walks and rest. So being silent with no screen/phone time was a peaceful and reflective space to just be. Thank you Katherine and equines.

I went on the week-long silent meditation retreat with horses because I felt completely overloaded. I was navigating perimenopause and becoming a carer, with no real space in my life, just constant to-do lists and mental chatter. I got more out of the experience than I ever could have hoped for.

Katherine has a deeply grounded warmth that made me feel completely held throughout the week. She has so much wisdom to share and the way she facilitated the week made it feel like a year of therapy in a short space of time; gently processing childhood trauma, letting go of long-held negative thought patterns, and feeling deeply spiritually connected.

Meditating with the horses was beautiful. I felt present, calm, and deeply regulated in a way that’s hard to put into words. The meditations were powerful, and the horses are truly gorgeous. I had many special moments grooming them and simply being with them.

But it’s so much more than that. The wisdom, the company, the food, the beautiful surroundings, the perfect balance of activities and time to yourself.

I left with more space, clarity, and a real sense of coming back to myself.

This retreat saved me at a time I was so buried in grief from a recent passing and childhood trauma that I wasn't sure i could continue in a world so empty. With Kathryn's compassion, nuture and calming ways she gave me the space to breathe again. I was apprehensive as ive never done a silent retreat but it created an environment for me to be me again. I was also nervous of the big Shire horse but by day two felt comfortable around Stan to get cuddles and shed a tear or three. Very safe space from my shared ladies on the retreat where although we didn't speak we communicated in our way. The guided meditation was beautiful and plenty of downtime to read her lovely books and take a walk around the stunning area of Arnside. Learnt so much, shed the month long headache I was carrying and found my oxygen again. Will never forget the experience and will definitely be doing this or similar in the future.x

I did the Silent meditation with horses retreat and if I had to sum it up in as few words as possible I’d say it was profound, peaceful, unexpectedly emotional, and a welcome homecoming.

In more words: Katherine holds a very gentle space with such presence and skill. There's so much that clearly goes into the organisation from behind the scenes, from the food to the time with the horses to the guided meditations back home and more - a lot to keep on top of! Even though Katherine has all this to organise, she still shows up to each session with an abundance of calm, deep presence, and easeful intuitive guiding.

Before arriving I was really quite stressed. But I left the retreat with a renewed appreciation for, and understanding of Winter, silence, wordless communication, and the way time can stretch long and slow when there is nowhere else to go.

I got to reconnect with horses and meditation in a thoughtfully accessible way that even lead to naps in the lounge, which shows how relaxed I felt as I'm not usually a napper in group spaces!

It's hard to even put it all into words, as so much happened in my internal process, which I am very grateful to Katherine for and this beautiful part of the world and the horses. I already miss my quiet, peaceful room in the sanctuary of a home Katherine welcomed is into.

Final point - I have coeliac so have to eat gluten free and Katherine was very good about making the meals gluten free and helping keep me safe food wise. I felt very well nourished and my tummy was happy with the food. Even though it was a silent retreat, she made use of written notes if there was anything to cover about the food so that was really helpful and reassuring for me.

We loved this experience. Katherine is so lovely and welcoming, and her knowledge of horses is truly amazing. She made us feel completely safe to open up and fully relax. I highly recommend this experience, and I’m sure I’ll be joining her and her horses again in the future.

Meditation with Horses was absolutely fantastic! Katherine was really welcoming and had a lovely calming energy, and getting to spend time being mindful and present and relaxing around beautiful Betty was wonderful.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I feel so calm and peaceful now, I would 100% go again and I would recommend it to anyone!

I booked because I had wanted to do a silent retreat for a while and I had no idea I could do this with horses. It popped up online and I immediately knew this was the one to do. I didn’t really have any expectations or actually any burning issues to resolve, or so I thought! it just seemed something good to do. So to say I was not disappointed is a massive understatement. I arrived in the evening and was greeted with so much warmth by Katherine. Warmth and a delicious dinner and that was the running theme throughout the five days. I just felt so well looked after, it was wonderful. There were three of us in the group so we had a brief opportunity to talk with each other before entering silence the following morning.
After breakfast we went to meet Katherine’s beautiful horses, Ellie and Yogi. Our introduction to them was gentle - some brushing and letting them find their way around us. There was a preliminary guided meditation and after a while the horses came and stood with us. It’s difficult to describe the effect they have but it is one of profound peace as you absorb their energy and I guess, they yours. Over the next few days we all felt increasingly at ease with them and they with us. It was so beautiful. The afternoons were spent in guided meditation and there was also time to explore the lovely village of Arnside - the beach is just down the road from the house. The locals did not seem at all offended by a warm smile in response to their friendly hellos! Evenings were free to meditate, read or write a journal. Katherine also gave me the most incredible massage midway through the week. An optional extra but well worth it. Most of the people I told before I went were pretty amused at the idea I could be silent for 4 days but I didn’t find it hard at all. It was actually so freeing and this is the surprising bit: Having gone really just for a break, the impact the whole experience has had on me has been profound and lasting. Within less than a week after my return I calmly, but with absolute conviction, moved away from a situation that has been difficult for me for many years and that till now I did not know how to handle. I never expected that to happen. There is no doubt that if you are open to the experience it will bring up “stuff” but you are so protected there and if you need to talk to Katherine in that time she is always there for you. I so recommend this on any number of levels and needless to say will be back as soon as I can.Thank you so much Katherine x

This experiences not only left an impression it recalibrated me.

The four days I spent in silence with the horses felt like a reunion with peace as a living, breathing presence. I felt held, witnessed, and gently invited back into awe. The stillness wasn’t empty. It was alive. And within that silence, something in me softened and re-opened.
There was forgiveness, of self, of the body, of the past.
There was the kind of rest that sleep alone can’t provide.
There was a deep sense of being looked after by something ancient, something sacred.

To be without tech, surrounded by nature, and held in the field of such wise, sentient beings - the horses, was healing beyond words. I made peace with parts of myself I didn’t even know were still holding tension. My nervous system sighed in relief. My heart cleared. The present moment wrapped around me like a warm shawl, and I remembered how good it feels to simply be.

And of course, beloved Katherine who held it all together with her radiant love, exquisitely expressed through her delicious cooking!

If you’re longing to return to your essence to remember what’s real, this retreat is a portal.
I’ll be going back.
With love,
Haider

I booked my retreat through Book Retreats and as soon as I had paid the deposit, I was given access to Katherine who runs the MwH retreats. We corresponded for a while on email and What’s App. I had reservations about my age and abilities and I had never interacted with horses before so was a bit nervous but Katherine reassured me. I arrived for dinner on the Sunday evening. There were just two other participants. After eating, Katherine led a process for us to share some of the issues we had brought. From Monday on, we were to be in silence with no devices or other distractions apart from reading spiritual material. I thought giving up my phone for 5 days would be difficult but it was a relief to get away from it. We spent the mornings, apart from one when unfortunately the weather was too bad to go, with the horses, grooming them and meditating with them. It was very relaxing and enjoyable being out in nature with them. After returning to the house for lunch, we had a short amount of free time then a long meditation session in the afternoon with a topic suggested by Katherine. This was followed by dinner then our evenings were free. It was quite an amazing experience to spend 4 full days in silence and meditation with relative strangers and one which I would be happy to repeat. Katherine works amazingly hard doing everything including cooking all the meals and she also gave me a facial one evening which was wonderful. All in all, it was a step out of my comfort zone and I am pleased I took the opportunity to reset.

From the moment I arrived Katherine made me feel at home and so comfortable x The day started with a good old cup of tea and an outline of the day x Myself and another lady got to witness the fantastic bond Katherine has with her horses Yogi and Ellie and even better allowed to share this wonderful experience x We stoked and brushed Yogi and Ellie with them actually guiding us as to where they enjoyed and needed it the most x We then sat down and Katherine spoke beautifully meaning words and read poems all of which created an atmosphere of peace and of what is important in life x Picture this sat with eyes closed listening to nature and a horse coming along of his own choice and gently nuzzling your head bliss x it was special to be part of this day no performances by animals been made to do tricks they wanted to spend time with us and allow us into their world amazing x I am lucky that at this moment in my life I am happy and at peace this experience made me realise this x However if life is stressful and you are struggling to cope I am sure This experience could put you on the road to recovery x Everyone should try this fantastic day x treat yourself you won’t regret it x

Katherine offers an amazing experience with her horses Yogi and Ellie. Seeing her connection with them I think helped our group of women relax. Having had experience of horses in the past I can honestly say this was a very different and unique experience. We had a beautiful, nurturing time with the horses. They definitely teach you to relax. I would highly recommend this to others and I am hoping I will be able to go again to the new home near Arnside.

We had such a gorgeous and nurturing day in Rydal on Sunday . The sun was shining and to be sharing the space with Ellie and Yogi was a very healing and profound experience for me . The ways in which Katherine interacted with Ellie and Yogi was beautiful to watch. It was a privilege to see the trust and love they have for each other . I really look forward to bringing my daughter.

A wonderful calming experience. Guided by Katherine and Nick and in the company of the gentle Yogi and Ellie, our little group had the most beautiful, healing and grounding few hours in stunning surroundings. I left feeling so calm and uplifted and have made a promise to myself that I will be back. Not everyone in our group was a horse lover at the start, (and you don’t have to be to enjoy the session), however by the end, the calming energy of Yogi and Ellie as they wondered in and out of our group had won everyone over.

Meditate with Horses has recently moved home to another stunning setting, Arnside, and I can’t wait to visit them in their new home soon. Katherine also organises wonderful retreat experiences too home and abroad – definitely on the wish list for the future. If you are looking for something a little different to feed your soul and create some space and calm in your life then just get in touch with the lovely Katherine.

Amazing group of women , flexibility in activities. Absolutely loved foraging, wild swims, yoga and meeting beautiful Bryn, Ellie and yogi.
Felt relaxed and revived and ready to take on the world . Thank you Katherine and all the ladies for making my weekend such a wonderful time .

MwH is such a fantastic experience. I didn’t really know what to expect but I was delighted to spend time slowing down and being mindful with the most gentle horses and a wonderful group guru. For me, the perfect balance of guided meditation, gently supported by two beautiful horses both of whom were free to come and go as they pleased and yet they chose to share their morning with us.
Would recommend this experience to so many types of people for so many different reasons. Will return.

All the activities on the July retreat were wonderful. I particularly liked being with the horses, followed by wild swimming. The yoga and meditation were so good and I left feeling at peace with the world. I really recommend this. Katherine, who is in charge of the retreats, is the sweetest person and I am so glad to have met her. The shadow work we did was so beneficial for me and has helped me considerably. I can only say book and enjoy your peace.

I attended the Wild Woman Weekend Retreat at the end of June and if I had to describe my experience in 3 words I would say that it was supportive, nurturing and profoundly transformative on so many levels.
I started the retreat feeling a bit closed off, stressed and burnt out and left the retreat feeling renewed, balanced and energised, ready for new beginnings.
Katherine is so supportive, intuitive and caring that you feel like you've come home again. You can just be yourself with no judgement leaving you to open up and just be you.
The horses, Amber & Yogi were just beautiful and healing. It was so refreshing to just spend time with horses without have a long to do list. It will certainly change my relationship with my horse that's for sure!
This experience has changed me on so many levels. Its filled me back up physically, spiritually and emotionally. I'm so grateful I found Katherine and the horses.
If you're feeling a little lack lustre for life and need that zest back, spend time with Katherine and the horses and you'll be back online :-)

Katherine’s meditation horse weekend was nothing short of magical. It was a truly transformative experience—deeply moving and nourishing for the soul. Simply sitting with the horses, being in their presence, felt incredible beyond words. The way they would gently approach, rest their heads on you, offer soft kisses—it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.

The connection was pure, calming, and profoundly healing.

Catherine herself is an extraordinary woman. She brings such warmth and care to the retreat, nurturing each of us with genuine attention and compassion. There were three of us in total, and she supported and guided every one of us with such grace. The entire weekend was absolutely brilliant—an experience I’ll carry with me always.

I had such a lovely, comfortable and amazing time with Katherine and the horses (Yogi and Amber). Katherine's gentle guidance, the horses and stunning nature around makes the meditate with horses an experience that will for ever stay with me in my heart and mind. So a big thank you and I will definitely come back! ❣️

Spending time with Katherine and the beautiful Yogi & Amber has to be up there with the most amazing experiences of my life. I’ve always loved horses but have never interacted with them on this level before. So calm and connected, lying soul to soul in the sun. I’m already planning my next trip for as soon as I possibly can! Leslie
